Design and implement serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, other relevant AWS services.
Define and implement robust API Gateway strategies, including resource paths, HTTP methods, and integration with Lambda functions.
Implement secure API access using Lambda authorizers (custom authorizers) for token-based authentication and authorization.
Integrate Redis caching (using AWS Elasti Cache for Redis) into serverless applications to improve performance and reduce latency.
Design caching strategies, including cache invalidation and eviction policies, to optimize data retrieval.
Define and implement best practices for serverless development, including performance optimization, security, cost management, and caching.
Create detailed technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, design specifications, and API documentation.
Development & Implementation
